This paper examines the significance of songs in selected Chinua Achebe’s short stories in the collection, Girls at War. In the paper, the selected stories “Vengeful Creditor,” “Chike’s School Days” and “The Voter” are analyzed qualitatively with a view to ascertaining their type, content, meaning and general significance in their contexts towards illustrating the themes of the stories. The sociological theory is adopted as the theoretical frame work to guide the analysis of the texts.
